The Athenaeum Music & Arts Library opened its “Paula McColl: Celebrating La Jolla” show April 1, welcoming a small group of visitors to an exhibit reception for the first time since coronavirus restrictions were implemented last year.
All who attended were fully vaccinated against COVID-19.
The show features 35 of La Jolla resident McColl’s scenes of La Jolla, about half of which were painted during the pandemic. They feature local buildings and scenes with people wearing masks or dining outdoors as restaurants adapted to limits on indoor service.
